Will an older Fujifilm lens work on the new X-H2 and X-T5 cameras? Or, do you need to use one of their optimized lenses? I answer that question and much more in today's video.
hpc's insight:
Fujifilm released the new X-T5 and X-H2 cameras with a 40-megapixel sensor, as well as a list of lenses optimized for the new sensor. This has caused confusion about older lenses' compatibility, but the video creator tests and compares older and optimized lenses on the X-T4 and X-T5. The results surprised them, and they provide their practical opinion and summary. They also showcase images taken with the new camera and a variety of lenses.Fujifilm's new 40MP sensor cameras lead to confusion about lens compatibility : Fujifilm released a list of optimized lenses for the new sensor ...

Is the X-H2 with the new Viltrox 75/1.2 Pro really a 1/4 the price Leica SL2 Mini-Me with APO Summicron SL 90/2? Not exactly, but close enough that if I couldn't afford the gear I DO have, I'd be happy with an X-H2 kit with this Viltrox actually being the FIRST lens I'd buy for it.
hpc's insight:
In his review of the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro Series lens for Fujifilm's XF mount, Hugh Brownstone describes it as a highly performant lens that offers excellent subject-background separation and a shallow depth of field. He finds the lens to be well-built, keenly priced, and super compact, with the added benefit of weather resistance. Brownstone admits that he has been ambivalent towards Fujifilm's latest high-resolution XH2 and XT5 cameras due to their menu system and touch interface, but the Viltrox 75mm lens has convinced him that the XH2 is a "Leica SL2 Mini Me for less than one-third the price," which he considers a big deal given the price of glass. Brownstone concludes that the lens's performance, price, size, and build quality are superb, and he recommends it to anyone looking for an excellent, affordable portrait lens for their Fujifilm X-Series camera. While he admits that the lens may not be the best for close minimum focusing distance testing, he believes that it is excellent for 95-99% of the time and offers optical performance comparable to lenses four times its price. Overall, Brownstone finds the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro Series lens to be thoroughly gratifying for what he does and how he does it.

hpc's insight:
Tongue, who has been using the Fujifilm XF 18-120 mm WR lens for several months. He has found it to be a great all-purpose lens for travel and video production, despite some reviewers calling it the worst lens of 2022. He disagrees and finds that the lens is not as sharp as other Fujifilm lenses, but that it provides a soft and cinematic look that is well-suited for video production. Tongue finds the build quality to be lightweight and weather-resistant and appreciates the lens's internal zooming, making it a good choice for use with gimbals. He overall finds the lens to be a good value for its price and recommends it for video creators and filmmakers. Tongue has some positive and negative things to say about it. He finds that the autofocusing is quick and snappy, but sometimes loses focus when tracking quickly moving cars. He also wishes that the lens had lens stabilization, but since he has a camera with in-body image stabilization, it's not a big deal for them. Furthermore, he also mentions that the lens has an exposure adjustment when doing a zoom and that it's not a firmware issue, but a design flaw of the lens. That the lens is par focal with an asterisk and that they wish it had a wider aperture, but understand that it would increase the weight and cost of the lens. Overall, they enjoy the lens, find it versatile and convenient, but also have some complaints about the quirks and exposure shift. Tongues concludes the lens is a good value for its price.

What's the best alternative to the X100V since it's out of stock everywhere? The X-T5 + 27mm f/2.8 WR is an amazing everyday carry combo. And you can even pair the lens with an older body like the X-E4 or X-Pro3.

In this review, I will show how well the AstrHori handles studio light, fringing, and sharpness at close and macro distances as well as explain what, if any, mechanical issues need to be addressed to make it suitable to studio work.
hpc's insight:
The video explores the lens's features and tests it for its usability in studio work. The lens is capable of tilting and swinging and covers a full-frame circle. The aperture ring is clickless, which makes for seamless video transition. However, the stepless aperture ring is difficult to distinguish by touch, and the focus ring is cramped into too little space, making it hard to focus reliably on anything macro or infinity. The review also notes that the lens returns the most color fringing of any lens in the reviewer's studio. The reviewer concludes that while the lens returns great results, all its issues could be fixed by swapping the current focus helical for one at least twice as long, and mechanically, the lens could use minor changes to make it comparable to first-generation tilt lenses from Canon and Nikon.

The Fujifilm 18-120mm f4 lens aims to satisfy videographers, still photographers, and content creators with its versatility.
hpc's insight:
Brittany Smith reviewed the Fujifilm 18-120mm f4 lens, which is aimed at bridging the gap between hybrid and still photographers. She describes the lens as a solid zoom lens with a moderate price, versatile focal length, and weather-resistant design. It performs well in subzero conditions, produces sharp images with beautiful bokeh, and focuses quickly in good lighting conditions. Although it is fully automatic, the lens is lightweight and easy to use. Smith gave the lens four out of five stars, saying it's a great option for those looking for an all-around lens.

hpc's insight:
Dustin Abbott reviews the Fujinon XF 102-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, which was released in 2016 and is considered an older lens in comparison to the newer 150-600mm lens. Despite its age, Dustin believes that the lens is still a viable option for those seeking a serious telephoto lens due to its compact size and ease of travel. The lens boasts features such as an aperture ring, weather resistance, dual linear motors, and optical image stabilization. The lens has a good focal range of 100-400mm and although it shows some pincushion distortion and vignette, correction profiles effectively correct them. Chromatic aberrations are well-controlled and the lens was tested on a 40-megapixel body, producing good contrast and detail in the center and mid-frame, with improvement when stopped down to F5.6. Diffraction limits improvements when stopped down to F6.3 and F22 is not recommended as it robs most of the contrast and detail. Overall, Dustin believes that the lens is still worth buying, especially for those looking for a compact lens with a decent aperture range.

Damian compares it to the Viltrox 85mm lens, which he also owns and are happy with. The author notes that the F 1.2 pro is better suited for larger camera bodies, but overall he is happy with their purchase and will continue to use it for a few more months before giving their final thoughts.

hpc's insight:
Dustin conducts a review of the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 150-600mm f5.6-8 lens, praising its matte silver or silver matte finish and its longest focal length on the X-mount platform. With the potential to reach up to 1350 millimeters with the 1.4 times or up to 1828 millimeter at full frame equivalent, the lens is compatible with Fujifilm's 1.4 times and two times teleconverters and is weather sealed with built-in optical image stabilization. He notes that the lens reminds him of his favorite lens, the Sony 200-600mm G lens, and although it is not short, it is 25% lighter than the Sony lens. However, it is designed for APS-c as opposed to full frame. Dustin also highlights the lens's performance in terms of vignette and distortion, and notes that chromatic aberration control is also good. He acknowledges that one of the challenges with testing a lens on a high resolution body is that diffraction starts to play a role at a relatively small aperture, and this affects the lens's performance. He suggests that the lens performs best at apertures of f8, but that stopping down to smaller apertures does not improve image quality.
